That's not a g19?
I've been looking for something to replace my g19, and I see a lot of contenders but they end up being wider or heavier or don't carry as many in the mag or this or that. What do y'all consider the best g19 defeater out there?
Oh and right at around $500.
I don't want to hear about $750+ pistols.

You could always buy a different G19 and scratch off the "19" on the slide and engrave some other number in it's place.

That's really your only option for the best G19 that isn't a 19.

There is a reason you're having a trouble finding better than the G19.

I have a gen3, a gen 4 and a x ordered. I also carry a shield sometimes. A holster makes a big difference in the way you carry as well.

If I had to take a shot at thread starters question:
CZ p10c, steyr m9a1, fn509, walther ppq m2, etc.

We cannot answer this for you, cause it will vary per individual. Out of ten that like the glock 19, and if each of the 10 picked one that was better for them, each would not choose the same pistol. Which one is best for you? Go out to local gun stores, and check out new pistols, if you have to shoot one, find a friend with one, or find a range to rent different pistols and see.

For me, the glock 19 has its place for me, would I replace it with something...there is something I would if I could (had a ton of $), wilson combat edc x9.

Walther's ppq is supposed to have a phenomenal trigger; not sure of its dimensions tho

A hammer fired CZ like a CZ P07 mentioned also could be good. May be a couple ounces heavier tho. The other thing I have noticed w CZ guns is that grip is longer than a Glock grip housing mags of similar capacity. This may make a slight difference in CCW as it is, IMHO, the most important dimension after width. CZ also likely is wider given controls

I actually had a G19 and PPQ M2 (Also a 9mm M&P compact) in my possession to determine my next carry. I made several trips to the range with all of them. The Walther won out and I haven't looked back. To get a G19 with the trigger and ergonomics that a factory PPQ comes with ups the cost by 50%.

I looked at that, but was not happy about the fact it was just a tiny bit bigger. It's probably unnoticeable though

If you didn't see it on paper, you'd probably wouldn't know the fucking difference. They all are polymer pistols, and all do the same damn thing. Ignoring all the hype, nothing special about the G19 other than it's size, aftermarket support, and the fact that high capacity mags are available. The rest is person preference.

Most people who don't like Glocks but want something the same size go with the M&P 2.0 Compact or CZ P10c.... The YouTube comparison vids I seen between the M&P and G19 showed that they are damn near the same size and weight even though you get steel in with the M&P, e.i., metal sights, guide rod, and beefier rails....

G23 with a 9mm conversion barrel.
G26 with a G19 magazine and the x-grip is handy. You lose the rail but the front of the slide is tapered and slide is a tad shorter. The tapered slide lets it conceal a lot easier.

Pick any of the many polymer striker fired double stacks. All are roughly the same weight. You're looking at a difference of like 3-4 ounces.

Best advice of the thread. The Glock 19, M&P, Walthers, CZs, etc are all basically similar with minor changes. None is better than the other, and it's all about person preference. The OP should take a trip to his LGS to see what fits HIM the best.

I carry a full size Beretta 92FS. It points well, it fits my hand well, it's more accurate than I am, it conceals well, it's as reliable as an AK.

To each their own.

Same here. The only Glock I ever owned or liked was the G26. The rest are just blahh to me and over way over hyped and priced for what they are. They're all the same size, have the similar finishes, similar dimensions, and similar weight. I'm more of a steel framed pistol (CZ, 1911s, Berettas, Sigs, etc) guy myself. I rather spend $500-$600 on a CZ vs a Glock or the like.
